Our coastal cottage is 100m from the beach, perfect for families and cosy romantic breaks.
You’ll love it for the sea views, proximity to Burgh Island, cliff walks and the 13th C pub up the road.
Lovingly refurbished with a log burner for winter and a sunny garden and conservatory.
Two double bedrooms, one children's room with two beds. Well equipped kitchen with range cooker. Shower room. Travel cot/ high chair available.
Wifi, TV with Netflix, USB charging points in every room.

An old coastguard's cottage, our cottage has been lovingly refurbished for bright modern living. There's plenty of character here with wooden floors throughout, green/blue coastal colours and a ship's beam spans the living room ceiling. In the winter the log burner is lovely and toasty; in summer the garden is a sun trap and a cosy conservatory shelters you from any sea breezes.
We love cooking so the kitchen is well equipped for cooking and baking, and the dining area intimately lit for dinners around the farmhouse table.
Kids have their own room complete with blackout blind and nightlight, and the loft bedroom has amazing views out to Burgh Island.

Located a stone's throw from the beach along the South West Coastal Path, there are plenty of cliff walks and beaches to enjoy. The area is great for surfing and kite surfing and the local beach is more secluded and far less crowded than most in South Devon.
You'll be just a short walk around the bay from Bigbury on Sea and Burgh Island - famous for its art deco hotel once frequented by Noel Coward. Two fantastic 13th c pubs are close by and there are plenty of great restaurants and cafés. In the summer kids can go strawberry picking on a local organic farm while you can pick your own fresh veg. Agatha Christie fans will love the setting of two novels on the island opposite, and her house at Greenway is just an hour away.
Salcombe, Modbury and Kingsbridge are all a 15 - 30 min drive away. Totnes, Dartmouth, Dartmoor national park are all within easy reach too and well worth a visit. Foodies will love tours of Sharpham Wine & Cheese and Plymouth Gin Distillery. There's also plenty for families to enjoy at Dartmoor and Paignton zoos, the South Devon Steam Railway, an Otter Sanctuary and Plymouth Aquarium.

Great cottage in a beautiful location

Fiona 2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

The house is small and beautiful, perfectly done up, super cosy, and has all the things one might need. There's no bath, but the shower is GREAT. A lovely place extremely close to the sea, to relax and get away from it all.

Liz2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

Frances' place is a beautiful cottage in a great location. Challaborough beach is a lovely sandy beach in a sheltered cove perfect for paddling swimming and watersports. Great walks over the headland to nearby Bigbury beach and Burgh Island. There is a large caravan park nearby but it was not noisy and there is a lovely heated pool that members of the public can pay to use plus good amenities such as a playground and minimarket. Once there we did not need to use a car. The cottage itself is lovely with a sunny outside terrace and pretty seaside styling. It is well equipped with everything a family would need. Although there is no bath we managed well with a baby bath for our toddler. Frances was extremely helpful and the house was very clean. I would thoroughly recommend this property to others .

Mary2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

This cottage was perfect for a 5 day holiday in Devon with my dog. Frances was an excellent host. She responded promptly to my queries and provided all the information needed prior to my arrival. We did some amazing coastal walks and had some great food at the local pub (Jorney's End). We will definetly be returning.

Caroline 2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

You will not want to leave. Frances' home is well equipped, neutral decor, very comfortable. It was relaxing to enjoy tea (or beverage of choice) on the patio overlooking the bay. Great location for long coastal hikes; or even a short stroll to the pub up the hill. Beach has good swimming. Neighbors are friendly. Independent kids will love the Challaborough area for exploring on their own, too.

We had a great time at the house. Only 100m from the beach with loads of lovely places to visit/walk to if you feel like you need to leave!

Bobby2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

We had a great holiday in Frances' cosy cottage. At our arrival we were welcomed by a bottle of wine and some fresh milk. The rooms were all decorated with lots of love and made us feel at home! The cottage is really well equipped and has everything one needs. There is even a washing machine and a dryer, which makes travelling with children much easier. When the sun was out, we had breakfast on the little terrace, watching the sea which is only a few steps away. We can highly recommend this nice spot for a great summer holiday!

Great location, perfect for chilling on the beach which you can walk to or exploring further afield. Lovely walks to Bantham, Burgh Island and the local pubs. Fab caravan, well equipped and sparkling clean. Plenty of outdoor space for bbqs, chilling with a glass of wine and also lovely comfy sofas for when it gets a bit too cool outside. We were so busy we didn't get time to check out the pool but we can vouch for the bar :)

Emma2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

A three day break with our best friends. What a way to spend it. We were 4 adults.Very modern. Clean and tidy. All mod cons in the kitchen. Nice size lounge for 4 adults. Caravan also has a nice decking area which was handy for a relax in the sun with a glass of wine. Great location for a walk to bigbury on sea and burgh island. Didn't use the campsite facilities so cannot comment on them.However the beach is less than a five minute walk. The host Michelle very easy to contact. Directions and Information given were spot on. Thank you for our stay.

Lucy2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

Highly recommend this caravan, we stayed for Easter weekend with my two children age 14 & 18. It was very homely and provided for all our needs. The camp site location was perfect for walks along the coastal route, with some nice quiet beaches hidden away. The entertainment was great fun and easy access to food, with very friendly staff. I can not fault the weekend we had and look forward to returning again

Angie2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place and best caravan in the whole complex in my modest opinion. Very modern, clean and quiet. Loved it and would recommend to anyone interested in a relaxing beach break.

This is a newly built, stunning coastal property just 100m from a clean, sandy, surfers beach. Spacious and fully equipped with 4 large bedrooms on the ground floor and a large open plan living area on the 1st floor. Large patio and hilly garden.

This is a large newly built contemporary seaside home with a very tranquil feel about 100m from the Challaborough beach and 5 minute walk from Bigbury on Sea.
4 large bedrooms on the ground floor.
One double room has a standard double bed, the other uses an IKEA Hemnes Day bed which can be a single or a double. Both quilts are available.
One double bedroom has an ensuite with a walk in shower. The other double bedroom and two twin rooms share a family bathroom.
Stairs lead to an open plan living space which comprises of a fully equipped kitchen, with washer and drier, a dining room and lounge.
Large patio doors open up one entire side of the kitchen to a large, sunny patio with table, chairs and potted plants.
Garden to the rear is grassed but hilly with a great sea view.
Outdoor steps lead to a rooftop terrace which has not yet been developed.
Parking for two cars maximum outside the house. However, for all other cars, the parking is 100m away in the Parkdean caravan site this costs £10 for a long weekend and £20 for a full week. Access to the property is via a secure pedestrian gate or a padlocked gate for vehicles via a building site.

The house is about 100m down the lane to the beautiful, safe, sandy beach at Challaborough where we boast views of Burgh Island.
The beach hosts a small cafe and well stocked beach equipment shop, a seafront bar and restaurant and a Nisa grocery store.
These facilities are all seasonal, however, and will close at the end of October.
Challaborough is an award winning Blue Flag beach, popular with both swimmers and surfers. Life guards are on duty May to September.
We are a 5-10 minute walk over the SW coastal path to Bigbury and about 20 minute walk in a westerly direction towards Aymer.

We were a bit disappointed with our stay at Sandra's house and have shared our comments with her beforehand. The view from the house is a huge camp site, which is frustrating and boring. The absence of thick curtains/blinds in the bedrooms was a real setback, we were awaken by daylight around 6am everyday... Not the best in terms of privacy too. The double bed is small and short, thus not adapted to tall people. If you are over 1m75 your feet will rest on the bed frame. Pillows are very high and hard. On the plus side there is a lot of indoor space, the house is rather pleasant and well maintained. The house was clean overall and some children toys are available. The kitchen is very well equipped. The location next to the beach and coast paths is very convenient.

Oanèse2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

This was our second stay in this wonderful seaside home. Access to all the local facilities and beautiful coastal scenery was within walking distance. The home itself is well equipped, comfortable and clean. A great place for a group of family or friends to enjoy.

Michael2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely weekend staying at this lovely cottage which had everything we required. Sandra was a lovely host and sent brilliant instructions before we arrived. She was also on hand for everything we required over the weekend. Lovely house which felt like a home!

Helen2016-03-15T00:00:00Z

Just back from a lovely weekend in Challaborough Bay. We were really lucky with the weather and managed to make good use of the outdoor area for our lunch. We cooked in one night and the kitchen was seriously well equipped! We ate out at the Journeys End on Friday night which was wonderful and within walking distance of the house. We were 8 adults and the house fitted us very comfortably. The rooms were lovely and had everything we needed. The immediate area is wonderful with amazing coastal walks and beaches. It's also within walking distance of Bigbury where we hored Surfboards and Paddle Boards which I would definitely recommend. Also the Pilchard Inn on Burgh island is a must visit!! Amazing weekend had by all - thank you Sandra!

Sarah2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

Sandra´s modern beach house (»Bauhaus Style«) was a perfect location for a short family trip (3 generations) to South Devon - even in January. For a German to drive there (and to find it) is kind of a challenge: not only the unusual left-hand traffic but especially the very small country roads with high hedges in both sides require a constant level of concentration. The amenities with the large fully equipped kitchen and the comfortable living room compensate for the difficult approach. Even in winter we enjoyed walking the beaches and our excursions to the surrounding area such as the lovely town of Dartmouth or the Dartmoor National Park.

Petra2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

We had such a perfect stay in Sandra's home. The house is better than you can imagine and so close to the beach! Could not fault the area and was lovely to get away somewhere quiet (We stayed in January so there was barely anyone there). Would love to stay here is summer and explore the area better, lots of lovely walks to go on! Would stay again without a doubt. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Tanita2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

We had a really comfortable stay here. Home from home. Such a lovely house, a couple of minutes walk from the beach. Ideal for families.

Michelle 2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

Very well equipped and beautifully presented house with plenty of space. There was no mobile phone reception but actually - that could be a reason to be there and escape from being constantly accessible....?!!! The beaches were amazing - especially Burgh Island and the causeway which we walked across at low tide. The Venus cafe in the car park was open even though it was mid January and served great snacks and wholesome drinks. Sandra was helpful and accommodating.

Recently renovated Coastguard cottage is the perfect place for a coastal getaway! An amazing family beach house, fully self contained with everything you need and more.
A two minute walk to the blue flag beach and coastal paths, local amenities on the doorstep, a fantastic place to spend your holiday.

The cottage offers a fabulous space, open plan living downstairs which flows out onto the deck with amazing views of the sea and Burgh Island. A fully equipped kitchen and separate utility room. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, 2 double beds and 2 single beds, one room has a mezzanine double bed above if needed...plenty for all or the option for extra guests if desired.
A spacious shower room and wc and separate wc.
There is a separate room at the rear of the house which can be used to store surf boards, wet suits, bikes, pushchairs anything you bring that you would like kept in a safe place.

Challaborough Bay offers offers fantastic facilities with fun for everyone. The horseshoe shaped bay with its blue flagged beach is the perfect place for families to while away their day. Further out to sea surfers can enjoy the amazing waves. The rugged costal paths of the South West offer views that are simply breathtaking.
Burgh island is a mere stones throw away, a short walk and you will find the sea tractor waiting to take you across to the island. Or low tide you can walk yourself across.

We arrived early and Rachel showed us where to park and let us use the toilet. The accommodation was perfectly situated and the views from the decking were spectacular. We were so close to the beach.. We'd come back!

We had a good stay at Challaborough and were well looked after by Rachel and Ben. It was lovely and quiet there in December.

Belinda2015-12-29T00:00:00Z

What a lovely place and a fantastic spot, so convenient for the fab beach and long walks on the coastal path. The cottage ticked all our boxes, loads of space for the four of us a really comfy and cosy. Friendly neighbours and great views out to Burgh Island.

The cottage was perfect for our family of six. Everything you could need was provided and it was a very cosy, comfortable place to stay. The beach and the local shop was a very short walk away which made life very easy. All in all it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the local area and we will definitely love to come again.

Andrew2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

great cottage with lots of space, lovely woodburner, cottage had everything we needed for a lovely stay. location is fantastic, you can see the sea! excellent owners, lovely touch of flowers and chocolates when we arrived, thankyou! we've just booked to go back again!

A spectacular beach house nestled on the south west coast in the glorious South Hams. This beach house is perfect for that deserved break at any time of the year.

The modern architect designed accommodation is light and airy with bifold doors leading out to a large patio and garden area with a private roof deck for sunbathing and views of the sea.
The entrance hall leads to 3 double bedrooms on the ground floor. All bedrooms are doubles and the master has a TV area, one bedroom is en suite there is also a separate family bathroom .
Stairs from the entrance hall lead up to a large open plan first floor which encompasses a relaxing lounge and well equipped kitchen diner ( appliances include electric oven, induction hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine ).
Although the accommodation can sleep six it is orientated to a family holiday and is not really marketed for six adults.
If you are a party of six adults we will be pleased to discuss your requirements but please note that there will be a different pricing structure which can be agreed by mutual consent.

George and Jean were the most hospitable airbnb hosts I've dealt with in over 3 years. They went out of their way to prepare the house for us (including some childproofing of the stairs!) and even stocked the fridge with some essentials. The house is extremely well designed / built and is impeccably decorated. The living space is great for entertaining and general living - which is critical for those wet summer days. We were so glad to have such a wonderful selection of videos to watch and relax with. In terms of the location, Challaborough is very well provisioned for children with a soft play and arcade, along with an indoor pool that can be accessed free of charge. Bigbury beach and the causeway to Burgh island are a lovely 10-15 min walk away. For the week we were there we only used the car once. George and Jean thank you so much for all your efforts to get the house set up. We thoroughly enjoyed stating at your beautiful house. Shaun

Shaun2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

The house is beautiful, spacious and clean. The photos do not do it justice. Everything you could need was provided- we even found toys and books for the kids which we were not expecting. Challaborough bay is a decent beach and is 1 minute walk away. Bigborough is a better beach (bigger and nicer sand)- 10-15 minutes along the coast path with toddlers, would be quicker for adults. Our 3 year old also managed the coast path to Ayrmer Cove - about a mile with some slopes. Access to the area is along single track roads for the last couple of miles which can be difficult but this would be the same for anywhere right on the coast. There is enough to keep small kids entertained within reasonable driving distance.

Janaki2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

A contemporary and spacious base which exceeded our expectations. Jean was a charming host and set us up for an amazing week. It's a truly brilliant location only minutes from a wonderful beach and so many other fab coves and walks. Thanks again to both Jean and George. You've got something special and we hope to be able to return one day!

Beautiful house very close to the beach. Lovely coastal walks although some very steep! Highly recommend Burgh Island which for me was the better beach. Kitchen and upstairs space was fantastic - loved the outside space when the sun was shining. Felt a real treat. Friendly area.

Sian2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house equipped with everything you'll need for a fabulous break. Less than a minute from the front door to the beach and Jean and George couldn't be better hosts. Book it, you'll love it.

Cindy2017-06-20T00:00:00Z

The house is great, everything you need and more.

Tanja2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

Jean was a very friendly host and her house is beautifully presented. We could not ask for more. We would enjoyed the house to its full potential if the weather is better but we still had a nice holiday.

Fairwinds is a light and peaceful, beautifully renovated home to compliment its beach location. It has two fantastic outdoor living space with some of the best views of Burgh Island Beach positioned in Parker Road Bigbury on Sea, a 2 minute walk to the beach! A perfect base for couples, families or even those carrying surf/wind/body boards (plenty of room for storage) , and furry friends (pets).

The wonderful sandy beaches, fantastic walks and with stunning night sky make Bigbury on Sea one of the most sought after areas in the South Hams.

We have just returned from a two night weekend break with friends. Fair winds is a light an airy bungalow which is tastefully decorated. Linda and Eamon made sure we had everything needed to make our stay perfect. Great outside space which was a real suntrap. Very secure grounds for our dog. We would definitely stay again. Only criticism is we found the pillows a bit hard but that is just personal preference as we prefer soft pillows.

The host canceled this reservation 56 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Adam2017-04-28T00:00:00Z

We just wanted to say thank you for a great stay at Fairwinds, we all really enjoyed it. Very relaxing and great for seaside walks and a chilled get together with friends. The standard of accommodation was lovely and it felt light, bright and spacious, with excellent facilities. It was all really clean and very comfortable, with everything included that you would need. Great location too with very easy access to both Bigbury beach; Burgh Island and Challaborough and the coast path too. We loved it and would definitely be back. Thank you.

Tiffany2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

We were the first guests to stay at this newly renovated holiday home. Everything was brand new and of a really high quality spec for a vacation rental, including all the mod cons in the kitchen and smart tv with netflix and great wifi throughout. We travelled with our dog and 18 month old daughter and the property was perfect for us (three spacious bedrooms) everything we could need for a memorable family holiday was provided, including a high chair, cot..even a fab christmas tree. The hosts Linda and Eamonn were very helpful in providing us with answers to any of our questions regarding local attractions and amenities. Handily they also have a new property 7 mins down the road on another beautiful beach which we are already planning our next visit with extended family. Fairwind's has a fantastic deep bath that my daughter absolutely loved and I also too found to be the perfect remedy for a fun filled day on the beach. The house is located mere steps from the beautiful Bigbury beach and has three raised and private decking areas which each afforded different sea views for us to enjoy. At night the glamours Burgh Island Hotel makes a beautiful backdrop for our evening glass of wine on the deck. If you are looking for a modern, light and airy beach house for your vacation we can strongly reccomend fairwinds

Chris2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

We took my 88 year old mum who is a wheelchair user. There is 2 steps up into the property which she managed. Once inside, it was brilliant. She loved the space and the views. The outside area was a real sun trap. There is everything that you need there. The beds were comfortable and mum had her own en suite. Will definitely go back

Mark2017-06-06T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fairwinds - perfect for a family holiday. Gorgeous views of Burgh Island.

Jacklin2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Perfect location beautiful bungalow. Would definitely recommend and return in the future . It was even better that the pictures

Idillic country cottage in unspoilt Devon village. 7 minutes walk down a foot path to a secluded National Trust beach.
2 minutes walk to a 13th Century Pub serving fresh local produce. Easy reach of Canoeing, Surfing, Golf [7 minutes drive], Dartmoor, Eden Project.
Please note that one bed is a double and the other one bed is a large double sofa bed.

One of the most beautiful places in the world. 1/2 mile from coastal path down a pathway straight from house. Very secluded beach.

Anna was great with all the arrangements and the house was just as we had hoped. The area is fantastic for beaches, swimming, running and walking. There are also some excellent places to eat nearby.

Laurent2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Anna's beautiful cottage. The bed is really comfy and she has the most wonderful collection of books. The garden is very pretty and lovely and sunny in the evenings. Anna was very accommodating and great to communicate with.

Anna's house is just a fabulous place to retreat and enjoy South Devon. Simply wonderful.

Claire2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

I thoroughly recommend a break at Anna's cottage. It is so homely. We felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. It is near a wonderful beach which is hardly used by anyone, perfect if you are bringing your dog. There is also a nice coastal walk. The pub is literally two minutes walk away which couldn't have been better. Also Salcombe is not very far to drive to.

A modern contemporary house that's 120 metres from and a level walk to the beach. You’ll enjoy the space, inside and out, enjoying great natural light. It has a large open plan kitchen and lounge area. The bedrooms are a good size and beds comfortable. The house is ideal for single families, couples, solo adventurers as well as business travellers. The surrounding coastline is fantastic in all weathers and offers a really good base from which to explore the natural beauty of the South Hams.

The house is new and fresh, just a few years old. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, surrounded by accessible beaches and coastal paths.
Outside there is a large patio accessible from kitchen through bi-fold doors with parasol, table and seating for all guests, above that there is a lawned area as well as flat roof terrace, the same area as the property footprint which in summer is a sunny, private space.
There is ample parking for 2 cars.
The house is very peaceful at all times of the year with superb light and air quality.

There are lots of tourist destinations in the South Hams within easy reach. These include beach destinations such as; Bigbury-on-sea, Bantham beach, Wonwell, beautiful coastal spots like; Salcombe, Slapton, quaint historic towns; like Kingsbridge, Totnes and Dartmouth. Dartmoor and Plymouth (aquarium) are also close by. There are some pubs with food available nearby.

Rob is a fantastic host! The house was just perfect on arrival. Very clean, well stocked, well appointed! Our family had a great time. My husband and I traveled from Pittsburgh to meet up with his family here. We couldn't have asked for a better place. We settled in right away. The beds were comfortable and the open plan living area with floor to ceiling widows was just exactly what we were looking for to be together and simply catch-up. The windows let in a ton of natural light and the while we didn't get to use the outdoor deck, due to weather, it's very nice and would be a great place to have breakfast or dinner. The location is great. A short walk to the beach. Plus we did a few day trips to Dartmouth, Brixham, Palperro & Looe. All within an hour of the house. I would recommend this place to families & groups of friends.

Becky2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at the house, Rob was an excellent host. We would definitely go back next time we plan to be in the area.

anthony2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderful house, lots of space, comfortable beds, really well equipped, it's obvious this house is actually lived in part of the year, so has all the mundane stuff too. Good levels of equipment and a luxury feel without feeling nervous the children will break lots of things. We had a great family holiday with friends - 2 families sharing could be tricky but there is so much space that anyone could find a quiet spot to get away or join in the communal areas for games and chat. The children were happy and calm, very little drama or conflict, because there was enough room for everyone and everything. There was no microwave, so hot chocolate after swimming or before bed was a bit more work, could do with a small milk pan too. I also phoned the head office of the holiday park right next door to check we could pay to use their swimming pool, they assured me we could get entertainment passes but the actual holiday park refused. We went to Kingsbridge to pool there on the only day the surf was too big for children and just swam in the sea the rest of the time. Not the cheapest but infinitely better than a static caravan!

Maria2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay in Challabourgh. Rob and Tobias place was clean and very well equipped with beautiful big windows. There was a great sense of space whilst also being perfect for friends to spend time together over a busy weekend. Thank you for the stay!

Corrina2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place and location, would highly recommend. Rob's help before, during and after the stay was second to none and really helped make our holiday special! Thanks again!

James2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Everything about this property is spot on. Location, house layout, facilities and super clean. Refreshing and outstanding. Thank you for a great week!

This traditional thatched cottage built in 1715, is situated in the small, historic village of Ringmore, near Bigbury-on-Sea, on the south west coast of Devon.
This pretty cottage is a wonderful romantic retreat for two, perfect for quiet cosy evenings in, after long walks through amazing countryside and fantastic scenery or a day spent relaxing on one the many beaches, nearby.

Outside is a private courtyard garden with cottage plants and seating, a lovely place to relax with a refreshing drink or to dine alfresco. Ringmore boasts a 13th century pub, Journey’s End Inn, serving delicious meals made with locally-sourced produce which is right next door!
There is also a village shop and Post Office a short drive away.
Just a mile and a half away is Bigbury-on-Sea, perfect for classic bucket and spade holidays, and ideal for surfing, windsurfing and kayaking. Equipment hire and lessons can be booked at the Discovery Surf School and after an active day on the sea, a stop at the Venus Cafe which serves delicious organic, free-range food throughout the year, is a must.
For those of you preferring to stay on terra firma, there is an 18 hole cliff top golf course, offering spectacular views. Bigbury’s famous landmark, Burgh Island, which overlooks the beach and is accessible at low tide, when the waters reveal a causeway. When the tide is in you can still reach the island by hitching a ride on the popular and unique sea tractor. The island hotel is celebrated for its Art Deco design and for the inspiration it gave to its regular visitor, Agatha Christie who wrote one of her best known murder mysteries, And Then There Were None, about the location.
Keen walkers will be spoilt for choice with some of the most spectacular stretches on the South West Coast Path being right on the doorstep.
For anyone who can tear themselves away from this idyllic location, the charming towns of Modbury, Salcombe and Kingsbridge are all close by, whilst Plymouth, Dartmouth and the wild open spaces of Dartmoor are also all within easy reach.

Honestly, we couldn't have had a better trip! The cottage was beautiful, spotless, and great value. Thank you so much! We highly recommend Stephen's place for any couple or family who want the perfect, most charming little retreat in the South Hams. Sophie and Daragh.

Sweet Tumbledown is an absolutely delightful property. The cottage is newly decorated and furnished, with charming antiques and lovely textiles. We thought a lot of care and attention had gone into the place and it felt much more homely and friendly than a standard holiday let. The location is wonderful. Beaches on your doorstep (pretty much!) and fantastic walks, food and countryside. I'd recommend a trip to Sweet Tumbledown, it really is gorgeous. Thank you very much!

Stephanie and Neil2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

Fabulous 13th century cottage in the heart of South Devon. Great for exploring the coast, especially for walks to Bigbury, Burgh Island, Bantham, etc. Ideal for couples.

Philip2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

Suck a beautiful tranquil home. The attention to detail inside is fantastic. The location is great, few minutes walk to the coast, which is one of the best in the UK! Perfect for people who like walking or exploring the countryside! One thing to note is parking in the small village is a little tricky sometimes, we parked in the car park for the pub next door which was grand. Also the neighbour in #1 is a bit grumpy so give him a big hug when you see him to cheer him up :) Beautiful stay & highly recommended :)

Very comfy and cosy. Definitely recommend for a quiet break.

Very sweet, peaceful cottage in a beautiful part of Devon. Lots of great walking routes on the doorstep. Ayrmer Cove was particularly pretty with stunning rock formations. The cottage has everything you need for self catering. Although if you like more than one pillow take your own! The pub next door was very friendly with what looked like amazing food! It shuts on a Monday though. If you want to walk over to Burgh Island remember to check the tide times!! There is no shop in the village so remember to take or buy essentials on the way! A really relaxing place to stay.

Sunset Lodge is designed for 1 or 2 guests, offering complete privacy, great views and easy walks to the sea and coastline.
Bantham village with the famous Sloop pub, Coffee shop, Gastro bus, and Surf school is only a short walk away.

We have really enjoyed hosting this special place in its beautiful environment.

Bantham and the surrounding area is an area of outstanding beauty.
This is a perfect place to set off on your exploration and enjoyment of the local beaches and countryside.

With stunning views and fabulous coastal walks, the Beacon in Bigbury on Sea is the ideal place to spend a family holiday. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there is something for everyone, young and old to enjoy. Short walk to beach.

The Beacon is a comfortable three bedroom converted barn located within half a mile of the beach. The property is one of six others in a small private complex and offers outstanding views of Burgh Island and the surrounding coast. It is laid out in an upside down configuration with the open plan lounge, fully equipped kitchen complete with separate utility room with washer, dryer and dishwasher and dining area situated on the top floor with exposed original beams supporting the pitched ceiling and roof. On the ground floor there are two double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a further twin bedroom. The family bathroom is also located on this floor. Outside there are small front and rear gardens and car parking for two cars.

Bigbury on Sea beach has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag in recognition of the beach’s excellent standards, particularly its efforts to make the beach accessible to everyone. In addition to good disabled access, Bigbury on Sea beach also provides Beach Wheelchairs for those with mobility requirements. It is one of the South Coast's best locations for windsurfing, canoeing and dramatic coastal walks and is, undoubtedly, one of the most stunning beaches in the South Hams. Burgh Island
Bigbury’s most famous landmark is Burgh Island, which overlooks the beach itself. The island is accessible at low tide, when the waters reveal a causeway that links it to the beach. However, when the tide is in you can still reach the island by hitching a ride on the popular and unique ‘sea tractor’.

Our spacious family home is close to the beach and has beautiful views over the estuary. Bigbury is the perfect location for a beach holiday in Devon. The expansive sandy beach is just a walk away and plenty of water sports are on offer. The house has 3 bedrooms, two double rooms with King-sized beds making it perfect for families with grandparents or even two smaller families. The third bedroom has bunk beds and a large cot. The landing also has a sofa bed and plenty of space for airbeds.

Bigbury has a very popular beach and gets very busy in the summer. Our house is at the top of Folly Hill in Bigbury on Sea so it is away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to walk to the beach. We also have access to a footpath running down a farm field to Cockle Ridge which is a beautiful quiet beach on the side of the river mouth.

We had the perfect weekend and a part if me would like to keep Rebecca's house a secret! The location of the house meant we could stroll through beautiful fields to the beach. Rebecca was a generous, helpful and welcoming host. We very much hope to visit again and explore more of the area.

suzanne2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Lovely comfortable family home, with great views and a short walk to the beach. Rebecca was contactable by phone when required and neighbours also very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Lysandra2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at this house. It was much bigger than expected and extremely comfortable. There were amazing views of the seaside. The host was very helpful and generous.

Adrian2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

My family and I really enjoyed the stay at Rebecca's. Rebecca had left us supper in the fridge the night we arrived and that made us feel very welcome. The house is larger than we expected and very child friendly, the kids loved all the toys Rebecca had left for us and the little garden in front of the house. The beach is just a short walk away. Bigbury on sea is an amazing place! The views are breathtaking! We most certainly recommend it.

Our holiday retreat is a stylish and cleverly designed seaside home, located in a beautiful corner of Devon. You’ll love our place - contemporary open plan space, peaceful, and within easy access to endless sandy beaches, coastal path or moorland walks, and some fabulous eateries. It is perfect for couples, groups or families: an ideal base to explore South Devon, or just relax and take in the sea air!

The front door opens into a spacious open plan living area. The ground floor living space is finished with solid oak flooring and features and the kitchen, adjoining the open plan dining area, is well equipped and is south facing with shutter style windows that fold right back to give an expansive sea view.
The two twin bedrooms are also on the ground floor. All beds are furnished in 200 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding and each room has views into the back garden with the fields beyond. There is a toy cupboard in one room, with train set, games, puzzles etc.
A beautiful oak spiral staircase from the main living area leads to 2 double bedrooms with kingsize beds and these rooms are each equipped with a shower wet room and small bathroom with toilet.

Bigbury on Sea is a quiet village and you will need a car! There are no shops in Bigbury and the two most local stores are at Challaborough (a 5 minute walk down the coastal path into Challaborough Bay) or Holywell Stores in St Anns Chapel which you will drive through on your way into Bigbury. Holywell Stores offers a good range of locally sourced and standard convenience goods and even better - offers a free next day delivery to the door.

This is a lovely house with lots of space and light and a lovely south facing front terrace to enjoy the sun on too. We loved the location and enjoyed the views and quiet nature of the place - I hope we may go back again some time. Thank you David and Laura!

Kitty2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

A wonderful, spacious and beautifully decorated home for the week. The kitchen was very well equipped, the scones, jam and cream were much appreciated and the beds were oh so comfy. A lovely back garden for BBQing and the surrounding beaches were just stunning. A faultless and stunning property that I would consider to be high end quality at a moderate price.

Absolutely amazing location , amazing view and we had an amazing time in bigbury xx

Kieran2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

You will not believe the view... Seriously... Great place, really enjoyed ourselves

Tom2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

Katie was extremely helpful and answered all enquiries very promptly. The apartment was even better than described. Furnished and equipped to a very high standard. But the best bit was the stunning view - the website photos do not do it justice! The location is perfect for exploring South Devon, we visited Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Paignton and discovered how delightful the nearby small town of Modbury is! Would definitely come again - but for longer next time. Trevor and Sarah

Bigbury-on-Sea is a quiet, friendly, unspoiled, seaside Village, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South Devon. The first glimpse of Burgh Island just 150 yds off shore and acres of safe sandy beach will take your breath away! Fabulous Seafood at "The Oyster Shack", Italian at "The Pickwick Inn", Excellent Country Pubs "Journey's End" Ringmore/"The Dolphin" Kingston. Premier Holywell Stores/P.O/Cash machine nearby. Venus Cafe/web cam of beach.

Our wonderful lodge is cozy and warm in winter and flooded with sunshine in the summer.
Bi fold glass doors bring the outside in! Set among acres of garden, totally private, it's a peaceful haven whilst being only 3 miles to the sandy beaches of Bigbury and Wonwell. Salcombe, Bantham and Kingsbridge are a short drive away and we are surrounded by stunning walks and fabulous restaurants.

Our lodge is a beautiful relaxing space. We provide quality linen and towels, wifi and a travel cot for toddlers. A king size bed in the bedroom with en suite shower room, and a sofa bed (double) in the sitting room which also has a shower room ensuite. There is a fully integrated sleek modern kitchen with washing machine, oven, microwave, and fridge freezer. Enjoy a barbecue and sunbathing on our secluded deck with views to the fields beyond.
You will feel totally relaxed here with nature and wildlife on your doorstep.

A truly peaceful escape if you wish to just relax and enjoy the view! However for the more energetic we are perfectly situated for exploring South Hams with its picture perfect towns and villages.
There is something for everyone here; for walkers there is the south coast path, beach lovers have the beautiful sandy beaches of Bigbury, Bantham and Thurlstone, wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted to walk the tidal road and foodies will enjoy our wonderful local pubs and restaurants.

Great location. Perfect base to explore the local beaches and towns. Beautiful house, really clean and well kitted out. Great stay. Will come back.

Lucy2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

An amazing place, great hosts, beautiful settings and so peaceful! We will definitely be back over the coming years!

Jamie2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

This was just what we needed. It was very relaxing and our hosts were very helpful. We look forward to going back!

Huw2017-06-01T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the Lodge was perfect for our needs and the location is great too. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but still have places accessible by foot. The pictures are an accurate representation and the Lodge was lovely and clean. Don't hesistate to book this lovely place!

Hannah2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Situated in a peaceful and secluded location, this cottage is modern, clean and well equipped. Jane was a good host - communication before the visit was great and she was quick to respond when we got in touch saying we were lost!! There are lots of attractions nearby and plenty to do, or you could just sit on the decking and relax!

Lucy2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay. Jane was very helpful even getting us a travel cot at the last minute. Everything is as pictured, clean and easy to use. Would definitely recommend.

Lucy2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful stay here with our soon to be two year old daughter. The lodge itself was immaculately presented and perfect for our family. It had everything that we needed and a fantastic outside space which we enjoyed using as a family. I cannot recommend this host and location highly enough for a real break away from it all right in the heart of the beautiful Devon countryside. It was also within easy driving distance from some wonderful sandy beaches and plenty of other places to visit. We would certainly like to book a return trip!

Foxhole Cottage is the perfect retreat from the Rat race. The house is in a sheltered position near the Avon estuary, surrounded by woods, with great walks all around. The Oyster Shack and Pickwick Inn are nearby serving great food. Our nearest beach is Bigbury, take a walk over to Burgh Island at low tide, with Thurlestone, Bantham (try Surfing!) and Wonwell beaches close by. Kingsbridge is the nearest town, with beautiful Salcombe approx 10 miles down the road.

The Annexe attached to the main house is completely private with two bedrooms, a spacious kitchen diner and relaxing sitting room to enjoy. There is also a patio perfect for outside dining and BBQ's.

This is an amazing property, beautiful location! The walks are stunning through the woods along the river to the tidal road, especially early morning. The managers attention to detail and helpfulness was second to none. Bigbury beach is stunning, discovery surf school absolutely fantastic and Venus cafe (online paying for parking saved looking for coins) Eating out - Highly recommend The white hart in Modbury and Oyster Shack. Easy reach to beautiful Bantham beach and Salcombe. All in all the trip of a life time.

Tanya2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

The location of the cottage was very nice, in the nature, a few miles from the sea and a lot a privacy. The cottage was very cosy and more spacious then I expected. The environment is very beautiful.

Francee2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

We had such a great week, the cottage is lovely, clean, cosy, close to all the great beaches, pubs & restaurants. We arrived to delicious home made cake and a fab full on description of the area. Our hosts were so helpful and kind, I would have no hesitation in recommending Foxhole Cottage, to families,couples young and old & friends who just want to hang out and get away from it all!!

Patricia2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Just returned from a great week at Foxhole Cottage. We arrived to the best hot cross buns I have ever tasted, fresh spring flowers and lots of useful information on the area. The cottage was clean, lovely and had everything we needed including a BBQ and everything you could need for a day at the beach. Our host (Rachel) was very kind and helpful and I would highly recommend this property to families and friends (young and old) who wish to enjoy the local area including the beautiful beaches, pubs and villages. We hope to return again this Summer. Thank you.

Sarah2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

A lovely cosy place perfect for a family. Definitely need a car and a good navigator, but not too far from beaches and a little shop for essentials too. Would recommend at least a week here!

Rob2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

The apartment was great- it had everything we could have possibly needed! Really spacious, nicely decorated and lovely outside space. The owners were also really kind and generous. Would love to stay here again!

Emma2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

We loved every bit of our stay and would love to go there again! Communication was very clear and friendly, the place was easy to find, very clean and stylish, it had absolutely everything one could need on holiday (only the roads are steap and windy but very picturesque!) - all in all, a nice retreat and a getaway from London

Aleksandra2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Lovely stay and super friendly and helpful hosts... Perfect for a few days escape from the Smoke; close to the beach and great local store for essentials and non essentials alike!
